Re: need a 18X DVD writer that's quiet and reliable
said by kba4  :from what i understand, 16x is the top speed for DVD writing. with that in mind, Pioneer makes most of the internal parts, and their drives are the most used in the 'duplicator' market.... my recommendation is the Plextor PX-750a. That's the problem. I wanted to get a Pioneer, but the fastest drive they have is 16x. Other manufactures like Plextor, Samsung, LG, LiteOn already have their 18x DVD burners out in the market. Being a novice in this area, I am not sure if Pioneer is the best, so I am considering 18x drives first with the traditional philosophy that faster is better. |

just FYI
1x CD = 150KBps
1x DVD = 1,353KBps
with that in mind, a 16x DVD drive is 21,648KBps and 18x is 24,354KBps... not a huge difference really, not something i'd personally pay more for.
